ACF China was born in late 2002, as a sourcing project, starting off with a few photos, a write-up on a personal homepage and a strong passion for Chinese antiques, furnitures and Chinese cultural products.

By early 2003, this short sourcing project had found its initial wholesale business customer and shipped its first container. Today, ACF services business customers in North America, Europe and Asia with our products are sold worldwide. We work with smaller talented artisans as well as with name brand retailers, designers and importers to bring unique and well made furniture, lighting, soft furnishings and decor into the home.

ACF designs and produces primarily reclaimed wood furniture with an east-meets-west twist along with select collections of metalwork and other materials. Along with our partnerships in Beijing and Guangdong, we also source and restore unique and authenticChinese antique furniture, reproduction furniture and contemporary lines in a wide variety of styles and materials.

We are a small company which means we value and work closely with our customers providing support, product and expertice in a one on one dynamic. We are primarily "To the Trade" and do not sell direct to the general public.

Antiques ▪ Culture ▪ Furnishings

As Yan Xubao, 31, a dealer at the ACF China furniture company in the Gaobeidian market on the outskirts of Beijing, observed, “Without a free capitalistic spirit, these antiques would still be buried in the countryside somewhere.”

CCTV’s team accompanied Roger for several days during buying trips of un-restored Chinese antiques, and then onward to oversee the next steps of restorations and repairs. They also accompanied him to the Panjiayuan weekend market.

Roger will host a combined talk and a guided trip to one of Beijing’s “industry only” antique furniture markets to see “furniture in the raw”, with the chance to pick out unrestored furniture for later restoration. Roger is well known for these trips and will take you to places that other furniture dealers would like to keep secret.
